I have a lot of experience with Auto repair, my family owns multiple repair shops. You my friend, are fucked. There is nothing I hate more than a stinky, dirty, beat-to-shit pre-2000s RV. I won't even let these assholes pump gas at my place, get the FUCK out. Last time some shithead came to fuel up with one, the RV died at the pump and it took forever for him to move that shit.

Quit being a retard, get a normal car and quit polluting the roads with you big stupid shit.

Also to add to this, GOOD LUCK getting a mechanic to even look at that thing. There is no money to be made from RV repair, only retarded boomers still buy these stupid unreliable shit-heaps. You ever notice how much they depreciate? You really get what you pay for, idiot.

You ever notice it's poor idiots who do things like this? $4,000 USD can get you a damn fine car, instead this idiot wants to be a nuisance on the road with his big, slow, inefficient shit heap. You can't live inside a fucking car, you idiot, it smells like ass and you just look like a fucking degenerate.

Exactly, this idiot could have gotten a Chevy Astro if he wanted to be an ultra poorfag. Those can be converted into "RVs" but they still end up stinking to high heavens cause some poor idiot is living inside of it. Poor people really ruin everything in this World.

I'm just letting him know what an idiot he is, and to not make that mistake again. You seem to be just as big of an idiot. Want to buy an RV bro? I got it for free but you can have it for 500, runs good bro.

Fucking idiots.

I have thought about buying a cheap empty lot of land out in the country and then getting one these RVs to park on it, some solar panels and bottled water and you would have yourself a cheap cabin in the woods to live in or use as a vacation spot.

How is this a vanity purchase? It was my life dream to go see the beautiful parts of the USA, and this is how I was going to do it. Not to mention the fact I would probably have parked it in a mobile home community until I saved up for a decent home to live in.

Well at least you didn't take the (((((((((college))))))))) pill, but definitely never buy cheap shit like that if you're gonna go on a long road trip. Junk cars can get you stranded or killed. But a little self exploration road trip isn't a TERRIBLE idea on its own, imho. Also, here's an unrelated but inspiring picture.

>here's a picture of a career actor who has never worked a real hard job for days on end telling people to work hard jobs
when people say that you should learn a trade. they mean become a welder, electrician, HVAC tech, etc.
those things require education and are also highly sought after, the trades that need people are the really shitty ones like concrete foundation work and roofing which becomes really obvious why no one works those jobs when you're barely making a dollar above minimum wage to sweat your balls off and carry heavy shit for 10 hours a day in all kinds of awful fucking weather

at least I'm not defending a guy who wasted his entire life savings of 4000 dollars (aka he worked a few months during the summer in high school) on a lemon purchase
I've done the bare minimum to get through life because I'm extraordinarily lazy and am sitting on 150k in assets in my 30s
